LEADERS of a number of socio-cultural and religious organisations, elected public representatives and individuals have condemned a restriction imposed by Khagrachari district administration on distribution of relief materials to the Ramgarh attack victims by organizations other than the government and its different agencies.

In the statement they alleged that the Khagrachari district administration was refusing to allow relief materials to be taken to the affected areas independently of the administration.

“Our requests for help in distributing relief materials independently in the affected areas have been repeatedly turned down by district administration, the MP, the Minister and by the army brigade. As a consequence, the common people in the affected areas are being forced to live a terrible life in this season of nor’-wester. The relief materials provided so far by the government is not sufficient.” they said.

They called on the government to allow independent relief activities among the affected people, provide adequate compensation to and rehabilitation of the victims and institute an independent judicial inquiry committee and make its findings public.
